Watch: Niall Horan rallies biggest names in Irish music to urge the public to ‘unite by staying apart’

As reports suggest that lockdown here at home could be extended beyond the May 5 deadline that had been set, Niall Horan is roping in his pals in the music industry to remind the public to ‘unite by staying apart’.

The former One Directioner teamed up with fellow musician Hozier to write a short speech to the Irish public encouraging them to keep up the good work by adhering to government guidelines.

From there, Horan sent out the call to other Irish stars in the music industry including Westlife, Andrea Corr, and Dermott Kennedy.

One by one, the musicians share a part of the speech which was posted with the hashtag #UniteByStayingApart.

‘The Irish are known all over the world for being passionate, fun-loving and very patriotic people,’ the video opens.

‘We may be a small country, but through our culture, our works, our spirit, and our resolve, we wield a lot of power on the world stage.’
